Blogging Parents and Bloggers.SG
» motherhood
Bloggers.SG, the bloggercon this coming Saturday at DXO, any other blogging parents showing up? I didn’t thought of bringing this up until caddy’s mum reminded me about it.
I always thought blogging parents might not really be interested in attending. It is not a parenting seminar. No babies crawling competition. No push carts selling children clothing or educational toys. No free goodies bags containing free diaper, formula sample or gym class vouchers. They said that there will be nice Bloggers.SG t-shirt on sale, might just be able to fetch a good price at eBay 15 years later when the kid grows up. 15 years is too long, furthermore, we only want baby size tees. Oh yes, we can meet up some of the famous bloggers. But then, the only true star and idol of ours is our very own kid, we don’t need to bring our very own kid to DXO to meet them. Ok, there is no registration fee and tea will be provided! Tell me, do they cater for baby food too?
Despite of all the above, I am still very keen to attend. Just the kaypoh side of me, curious to find out what is going on, to get out of the house, snap some pictures and make some new friends. I heard that there is a nice private room on the upper level of DXO that overlook the ground floor. If we manage to “chop” that place and make it into a cry room for parents lugging children along, then attending the event won’t be stressful anymore. Let’s make an appointment at the cry room, ok?
UPDATE: The organiser welcomes the idea, so I take it that we could have a cry room for parents with kids! So, don’t have to worry about wailing babies or little monkeys hoping around anymore, the cry room will be able to contain all the sound while we enjoy the various session from there.

Deb, thanks for dropping by
Phoebe, Ivy, yes, we could have that room and enjoy all the sessions from there with our kids! DXO is at the famous durian, eerr…thats all I know, somewhere there lah, shouldn’t be difficult to find.
Not too sure if the other parents are interested though, but I will be there!

might wan to be careful when you bring the babies into the upper level if u have to pass back the main room. Loud music will scare the babies and also exposure to sudden loud music will be damaging to the under-developed ear drums. Have a plan on how to get them in without exposure to the loud music (plus ciggies smokes).

Thanks Huileng, I read it liao… me working from 1pm onwards that day…. so cannot go….

Gary, no worries! The bloggercon at DXO does not allow smoking during the main session, and I don’t think there will be any loud music too. For the post event party, the kids will not be allowed anyway.
Do attend the event with your children if you are interested!
Ivy, too bad. I will try to snap some photos for you…lol
